Aikku Jokinen (Earth-616)

Aikku Jokinen was an ethnically Finnish Norwegian girl in the proximity of the crash landing of one of Ex Nihilo's creations, the Pod System Armor, which was launched towards the planet by an evolution bomb and designed to serve as Earth's self defense mechanism.

Aikku was bonded with the suit, and remained in a cocoon, which was discovered by A.I.M.. Once she hatched from her cocoon, with her mind having been taken over by the armor, Pod proceeded to fly to Australia where the Avengers were fighting other creations of Ex Nihilo's in Perth. She quickly defeated the Avengers, adapting to their attacks and strategies, and was soon confronted by Deidre Wentworth, who managed to capture Pod once more for experimentation, firstly by placing her in the space between two dead universes.
